Applications of Calculus I
Chemical KineticsThe Derivative as a Function
by Dr. Christian Clausen III
UCF EXCEL
Derivatives•
Recently in class, you have discussed derivatives.
•
One way to find the derivative of a function is to find the slope of a tangent line.
•
Derivatives (slope of the tangent line) are limits of the average rate of change (slope of the secant line) as the interval gets smaller.
•
Chemists use this approach to analyze data in a subject called chemical kinetics.

UCF EXCEL
Chemical Changes Often Occur at Different Rates•
One major factor is concentration
•
Let’s perform a couple of Hydrogen Explosions to demonstrate this
•
H2 + O2 →H2 O + Boom!!!
UCF EXCEL
What about reactions in solution? Does concentration have an effect on the rate of change?•
Let’s demonstrate this with a chemical reaction that emits light like a lightning bug.
•
CpdM
+ CpdN
→ CpdZ
+ Light (hν)
UCF EXCEL
Physical changes of rate
•
Observe my changes in Distance Traveled vs
Time (i.e. rate of change) as I move
across the stage.•
So you can see I will have an average rate of change as I go from one end of the stage to the other
•
But my instantaneous rate of change at any given moment might be different

The smaller the interval, the better the average rate of change approximates the instantaneous rate of change

Rates•
Rates of reactions and unemployment rates both measure a change over time.
•
For example: Problem•
from your text 3.1 (33)
17
t U(t) t U(t)1991 6.8 1996 5.41992 7.5 1997 4.91993 6.9 1998 4.51994 6.1 1999 4.21995 5.6 2000 4.0
This shows the percentage of Americans that were unemployed, U(t), from time=1991 to time= 2000
UCF EXCEL
Finding the Average Rate of Change of Unemployment
•
The rate at which the unemployment rate is changing, in percent unemployed per year.–

Approximating the derivative•
A more accurate value approximation to U'(1992) is to take the average between U(1992)-U(1991) and U(1993)-
U(1992).

Application to Chemistry
•
Chemists analyze how reaction rates change over time.
•
The derivative of this function (reaction rate) is commonly used in kinetics .
•
To find the derivative, the slope of a tangent line can be used.
20
Chemical Kinetics (what is it?)The branch of chemistry that is concerned with the rates (or
speed) of change in the concentration of reactants in a chemical reaction.
UCF EXCEL
Chemical Kinetics
•
Why study kinetics?–
To determine steps in a chemical reaction
–
To develop a mechanism–
To figure out how and why a reaction occurs
–
Ultimately to learn how to make a reaction go faster or slower
21
UCF EXCEL
At UCF, the Chemistry courses that cover kinetics are:
CHM 2046- Fundamentals of Chemistry II; CHM 3411-Physical Chemistry II; CHS 6440- Kinetics and Catalysis
UCF EXCEL
This is a problem from a CHM 2046 exam that deals with Chemical Kinetics

Before we can learn about calculus applied to chemical kinetics, we need to know about
Chemical Equations•
In a reaction, reactants are converted to products.
Reactants Products
For example, let’s write a simple acid/base reaction: NaOH (a base) + HCl
(an acid) NaCl (a salt) + H2O (water)
•
The speed of the reaction can be determined by:–
The change of reactants (i.e. NaOH
and/or HCl)
–
The change of products (i.e. NaCl and or H2
O)
25
UCF EXCEL
Let’s perform this acid-base reaction with HCl
and NaOH
here in class.
We will see how fast the reaction can occur. The color change will indicate when the reaction is over.
•
“As you can see the reaction is very fast.”•
Too fast to follow the change visually but with the proper instrumentation, we can follow changes in concentration vs
time
UCF EXCEL
When we gather concentration vs time data, we plot it.
•
Change in time–
Denoted as Δtime (x-axis)
•
Change in concentrationDenoted as: Δ
[reactants ] or Δ [products]
(y-axis)

A plot of concentration vs
time shows how the Rate of Reaction is changing
•
The plot is not linear–
The rates change over time
•
The average rate over the time interval t1
to t2
is the change of [reactants] from c1
to c2

Rate of Reaction
•
NOTE: Slope of [reactants] vs. time is always negative–
Reactants are consumed to form products
–
Notice that the slope of AB is negative
•
Rate must always be expressed as positive numbers
•
To ensure this, use the absolute value

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) reacts with water to produce salicylic acid and acetic acid
–
The reaction occurs in your stomach and is called an hydrolysis reaction
–
Salicylic acid is the actual pain reliever and fever reducer–
The reaction was stopped at various points so the concentration of the reactant and product could be observed
Let’s look at an example reaction that all of you experienced-the use of aspirin

Rates: average vs. instantaneous•
Average rates are over a period of time–
Gives limited information
•
As the time intervals get smaller and smaller, they approach a particular “instance”
•
The concentration at that point vs. time is called the instantaneous rate
38
UCF EXCEL
YOU WILL CALCULATE THE INSTANTANEOUS RATE OF CHANGE OF A FUNCTION BY USING A NON-GRAPHICAL PROCEDURE
* Remember that the Instantaneous Rate is when change →0 and Δtime →0
UCF EXCEL
Finding instantaneous rateInstantaneous rate:When the Δc 0 and Δt 0Slope of tangent, EF, hits the
curve at c’
and t’
(-slope tangent) = instantaneous rate
Since the tangent has a negative slope, you must use a negative sign to express the rate as a positive number.

UCF EXCEL
The initial rate of the reaction
•
Is very important, especially in complex reactions
•
Is at the start of the reaction
•
Is the line of steepest slope–
